So interesting/Long night for the TT last night..
I was driving my girlfriend home, and coming down a big hill it felt like i stepped on the brakes, when i didn't.... strange, i was almost to her house so i just kept on going. A minute or so later, i turn on to her road and head up the hill and the car just dies. After walking to her house and a few minutes on the phone with audi roadside, we decide i will try and get gas first because in the area i was in they couldn't deliver the gas to the customer... awesome... so anyway, after searching for an empty gas container, and driving all over creation @ 1:30 AM i finally got 5 gallons in the car and got it home alright.... I guess I'm off to Audi to have the gas gauge replaced. It had been reading funny all day, but last night said I had a 1/4 tank left, so i trusted it. i guess i should have known better. Tell you who will be using the odometer to measure fuel consumption from now on.... THIS GUY

funny - had the same thing happen to me on New Years Eve - luckily I was only 500ft
or so from the nearest Mobil. Tried to coast it in but couldn't so I pulled it to the side and walked over. When I asked them for a gas can they told me "we don't do that"..... WTF? I asked him back - "You don't do WHAT? Sell gas?!" Incredible. So I got to hike a mile or so to the other nearest gas station in town who hooked me up. Bastages! When that service station burns to the ground via molotov cocktail - I had NOTHING to do with it! ;-) ALWAYS re-set and use the trip odometer!

That's what happened when mine went....>>
1/4 showing......Coasted into work. Since I'd been showing all the symptoms of a bad cluster except the gauge it caught me by surprise....Dealer ordered new cluster the next day..

Had it happen to me a few weeks back. I think it's the fuel sensor...>>
as I put a can of fuel treatment in the tank and after one tank the gauge is reading acurate (or as good as Audi says it should). I also keep a record of the mileage from the trip odometer and it's pretty close.
Be sure when you install the BAMM and 4bar that you adjust the mileage computer.
